book by Will Aronson & Hue Park
IL TENORE, inspired by true events, depicts the unlikely production of Korea’s first opera during the Japanese occupation of the 1930s. A show about the thrill and the agony of having big dreams in a troubled world.
IL TENORE premiered on December 19, 2023 at the 1000-seat CJ Towol Theater in Seoul, with performances continuing until February 25, 2024. The show subsequently announced it would be transferring to the 1700-seat Blue Square Theater.
